New Aki Saito Need To Know: "Looks like I got away."
I'm guessing this is running away from either the soldiers that we see in Trailer 2, or the Chiral creatures.
I went yesterday. And made a complete floopy clown-shoes out of myself. (Ugggh, so embarrassing)Yeah, I popped along this morning. I guess I had bigger expectations as it was tiny and not much to show apart from t-shirts with the Koji Pro logo and Ludens stuff, was hoping for more Death Stranding. Oh, and the only games playable at the festival was Fifa. Bloody fantastic. :P
I got two tshirts yesterday at the expo.Has anyone bought a shirt from the KojiPro store? I really want to get the Fragile Express shirt but not sure about the size measurements. Like are they standard US sizes or are they JPN sizes?!!

Anyone want to speculate at to the importance of 4/22? Am I missing something?
I don't know, sounds like a convoluted way to explain the phrase "not ready yet". I have a very strong gut feeling that he means Death Stranding isn't ready at this exact moment but will be on the 22nd of April and we're getting a world wide shadow drop.Looks like whatever construction or event is happening in that building on 4/22, and since it's 4/14 it means it's not ready yet. Nothing to read into here, and I hope people don't read into it further than that.
Makes senseI don't know, sounds like a convoluted way to explain the phrase "not ready yet". I have a very strong gut feeling that he means Death Stranding isn't ready at this exact moment but will be on the 22nd of April and we're getting a world wide shadow drop.
Welcome. Hope it's helpful for you.
Yes. He used to be a Marine.looking at Sam's photo, which i would assume is his wife and daughter
are we thinking Sam is ex-military here?
this is confirmed, oh i didn't know
Not confirmed... As such.

Mentioned in the leak. I think.... Or did i see a photo of him and he was in his uniform ? I don't remember now.
Maybe i'm seeing the future. LOL.
Just the old 4chan leak from a couple of years ago.
Ok, so nothing I guess
He provided some details about Sam as a character: 'Some might have already picked up on this, but Sam is unlike any other hero you may have seen in games before. A typical hero is usually some sort of elite or someone with a military background. Sam is not. He is a working man of sorts — a hands-on professional. Someone with a skillset akin to a blue-collar worker. This is something you'll intuitively understand once you play the game and control Sam. Herein lies our challenge, to create both a new form of gameplay and a hero that has never been done before.'
I don't think that's his wife in the back. She seems too old and the way she's posed in the picture it's not typical of how you'd take a picture with your spouse. I think she's the President. I do think the women/girl who's face is concealed is his daughter though, she seems young enough.looking at Sam's photo, which i would assume is his wife and daughter

Huh. My mistake then.Unless Kojima was lying or there was some sort of mistranslation, Sam has no military background.

What did you expect? It's like you guys never learn, every time there's a thing of this sort he just talks about his love for cinema bla bla.. which we all know by now.
Well. I still hope they release the vod. 🤞
I would hope they will talk about what it was like creating the game, motion capture, etc (we can hope right, lol?). Kojima is also a huge fan of The Walking Dead.
Left lady looks pregnant.I don't think that's his wife in the back. She seems too old and the way she's posed in the picture it's not typical of how you'd take a picture with your spouse.

Wellllll. If you believe the 4Chan leak (And it appears i'm the only one) Then
lol, didn't even pay attention to anything besides their faces. Yeah she's 100% pregnant.

I said all that ☹️ (except for the Lindsey Wagner bit)The wife is the pregnant one and she is Léa Seydoux. The old woman in the background is Lindsey Wagner. She seems to be some high politician person that Sam worked for. Things may have caused amneisa or stuff like that since Sam probably doesn't recognize neither her nor his wife. Timefall seems also to have the reverse effects on Lindsay Wagner who gets younger in the game events compared to her in that photo.
Seeing as the PS5 plans to be backwards compatible with PS4, I wonder if a simultaneous PS4/5 release of the game would require separate discs or merely be adjusted in the settings like Pro enhanced titles...
If it will be a cross gen game It does set its release date somewhere in 2020 since it was already confirmed that we wont hear about the PS5 this year
I hoping they're hinting at a PS4 release initially and then a PS5 release a few months later. That would make sense to me. If it is an outright simultaneous release on both PS4/PS5 than that's a pretty dishonest piece of marketing by Sony/KojimPro for the past ~ 3 years.
It would be dishonest if they only released a PS5 version. You aren't losing anything with them having a simultaneous release.
It's dishonest because it was advertised as a "Playstation 4 Exclusive" whenever they've shown it/talk about it in an official capacity. If it's simultaneous launch on both PS4 and PS5 then that's a lie. It's not "exactly as advertised ".How? I do think what you described first is what will happen, but how is a cross gen release dishonest in any way whatsoever? It is coming for ps4 exactly as advertised except that it will also be on ps5. Its a win-win for everyone.
You do losing something because one will clearly be the inferior version, the PS4 version. The version they've been advertising for the past 3 years. The version they repeatedly said was "Playstation 4 Exclusive" on every advert they've put out for the game.It would be dishonest if they only released a PS5 version.

Not to mentions Kojima's numerous comments about playing and tweaking it on PS4 everyday. If it is a simultaneous launch on both PS4 and PS5 then I highly doubt Kojima is playing it on the PS4 as apposed to the PS5 devkit.
?? Actually it would be much better for everyone, just release a single bluray for the game which is compatible with both PS4 and PS5, by doing this you can play the game on your PS4 or if you purchase a PS5 you can play an enhanced version of it here.I hoping they're hinting at a PS4 release initially and then a PS5 release a few months later.

Sure, games sell systems. Sony will probably use DS as a way to sell PS5's, by saying it is the superior version.You do losing something because one will clearly be the inferior version, the PS4 version.

Games sell systems. Not sure how people don't understand that. People will have bought a PS4 on the basis that they were going to play the best version of Death Stranding on release on PS4. As Sony repeatedly advertised. That would no longer be true with a PS5 simultaneous release. Said consumer might have waited till PS5 launched if all these facts had been presented.
Seems you're pretty offended about me expressing a simple opinion I have. I'm not going to burn Sony to the ground and kill Kojima over it. I'm just expressing something I personally feel in a fairly innocuous manner. Am I not allowed to simple say that statement "Playstation 4 Exclusive" would be a lie if it also launched at the same time on PS5? It's a fact.I feel like you are getting hung up about a technicality. They were definitely not gonna say "Oh, and also next-gen consoles" when they hadn't even announced said console.
Not just that, they are gonna want to attract more people to the new console who were previous owners of other consoles. Not all 100% owners of the PS5 are going to be previous owners of the PS4.
Now, if you're really that bothered that a giant corporation lied about exclusivity, I dunno what to tell you. Bigger fish to fry and all that.
